Looks like the whole flight tracking thing just happened.
Avplan is a GREAT piece of software. I used it on
the way back from Perth in January.
We had Telstra data comms all the way both ways.
Unparalled situational awareness.
No I'm not getting a cut.
Twitter? Fakebook? Isn't there some other way to share?

Introducing AvPlan Live

Introducing AvPlan Live
Live in-flight aircraft tracking and position reporting
Today we are introducing AvPlan Live! AvPlan Live
brings live flight tracking to AvPlan EFB. When
enabled, your devices will automatically send
position reports via the internet every 15
seconds. This is a free service for all AvPlan EFB subscribers.
These position reports are extremely light weight
and when combined with a good coverage cellular
network (Telstra in Australia for example) will
enable your aircraft to be tracked with very good
accuracy. The amount of data sent by your device
is also very small - around 30 KB per hour while
in flight. You do not need to have submitted a
flight plan either, the service will work if you
have a flight plan in the system or not.
In Australia, soon you will be able to submit
notification that you are using this service, and
AMSA will be able to pull up details of your last
known location if you happen to not arrive at
your destination and a search is initiated. This
will save a lot of time if a search is commenced
and will ensure you are located sooner than before.

When you share your flight plan via Twitter or
Facebook, others can view your flight plan,
current location and ground track. If you do not
share your plan via these mechanisms, then your
current location not viewable by anyone but
yourself (when looking at the

Flights section of our website).
How reliable is it?
We have developed a very lightweight protocol
which is proving to be incredibly reliable over
cellular data networks. Our beta testers have
been busy flying in remote parts of the country
to assist us in the development process. On one
example flight from Lightning Ridge to Burke in
Western NSW, every position report was received by our service.
How to get started with AvPlan Live
* Open AvPlan EFB on your device(s) and tap Settings, User Settings.
* Enable the 'AvPlan Live' user setting
* Enable the 'Sync plans via cloud' setting
* Share your flight via twitter or Facebook
to allow others to follow your flight.
If you do not share your plan via these
mechanisms, then your location will remain
private. However we will share your last known
position with AMSA if we are contacted in the
event you do not arrive at your destination (which has happened in the past).
Other additions in AvPlan EFB 5.0.1
AvPlan Live isn't the only new thing we have
added. In AvPlan EFB 5.0.1 we have added the
ability to save flight status and flight
callsigns. These will be remembered and reused.
The full release notes for AvPlan EFB 5.0.1 are
available on our
